There is no keystore in my ~/android directory, although the Readme.md
says I should have a keystore and a release keystore.
I assume that if the person installing has allowed installations from
unknown sources that this is OK.
Do I need a keystore or can I leave it out and distribute unsigned apk
files? Presumable that would avoid the problem mentioned above?
